Character History

In chapter 2 of Slow Burn, one of the kids says to Jack that his father, Aviv, has "the strongest telekinesis of anybody" at the carnival. Jack says that his dad gets mad a lot at nothing. When Jennie presses him, Jack says that Aviv gets mad when his powers don't work; Jack says that Aviv wants to be the strong man.

In chapter 4 of Slow Burn, "The Watcher" sends Chris a message informing him that Aviv is hiding something, and that Chris should investigate. Chris recalls that Aviv is a big guy, and doesn't want to be on his bad side. Chris watches Aviv from behind Aviv's trailer, and sees him lifting weights and practicing his ability. Aviv drops a bottle of water, loses his temper, and hurls a barbell into a pile of wood.

In chapter 9 of Slow Burn, Aviv helps his son practice his ability. Bo and Chris arrive, and ask Aviv about The Watcher. He becomes upset, and sends Jack away. He tells them that the Watcher has approached him several times, claiming to know his darkest secrets, but that he has refused to do anything for him. He says it is time someone reported to Samuel about The Watcher, and they agree, telling him that when they find The Watcher, they will let him know.

Aviv has the ability to move objects with his mind. He is a particularly strong telekinetic, and can lift multiple rides at the same time with ease. However, recently Aviv has been losing control of his ability, having to concentrate for several seconds to successfully lift a water bottle.
